So, don't assume that a glider has bad spin behavior just because they've
been spun in by instructors.

Given the fact that other gliders did not spin in during a winch
launch with an instructor in board, odds are that these accidents were
not completely the pilot's fault, don't you agree?

The Puchacz is not, alas, the only glider to have spun in off a winch
launch.

Mind you, I recall a site check at a Large UK Club in a winch launched
Puchacz. At the top of the launch the instructor kept telling me to
pull back more, even when pre-stall buffet could be felt. And that was
only two weeks after an AEI flight had spun in off the winch, fatally
for the pupil.

My conclusion: some instructors shouldn't be flying, and some clubs
shouldn't be operating.
